Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
were fined a combined $821,223
Should've given that to the kids. Create an incentive for other kids to report on their fucking evil employers.
I'd imagine that the fine means the employer is also open to civil action.
These 13 year olds just need to hire a team of attorneys to seek civil penalties from this company. Easy peasy
Probably their parents, but yes.
Fines these companies probably will never pay is such bullshit. Go and arrest everyone, from the kids immediate "supervisor" all the way up to the ceo. Anything less is lip service.
Upton Sinclair over here spinnin'.
Gilded Age Part 2: Electric Boogaloo
The advantage Sinclair had was that people read books back then. People think watching more than a 30-second video is a hassle now.
Steinbeck too
Things that make Republicans happy.
Taking fines and distributing them to other republicans instead of giving that fine to the children working? ;)
I'm referring to the republican desire to hurt the marginalized, and their regressive attitudes on basic human rights.
Whelp you can kiss those pesky regulations goodbye next month
There's no need to call them names.
